It is interesting that LIGHT should come with an expansion of consciousness. “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not.” We all, in varying degrees, enter into this sense – into this illumination – all people have sensed that Truth is Light. If a spiritual treatment could be seen (and a spiritual treatment merely means the mind unifying with Good) it would be seen as a pathway of light. It is not a psychological explosion; it is something which pre-exists.

It is not an illusion but a reality; and it is during these periods that real revelations come. Suppose a large group of people [are] in a [dark] room together, but unaware of each other’s presence; each is busy with his own personal affairs, suddenly the room is illuminated for a second and they all see each other. In flashes of illumination, the inspired have seen into the very center of Reality.​This is an excerpt from “The Science of Mind,” written by spiritual visionary Dr. Ernest Holmes.
